I know that some classes use such tactics (Ret Pallies with T11 Prot 4pc for longer Guardian, DK's using 2pc T12 to pool Runic Power, Fury Warriors and Demo Locks having Mastery Sets) - and I was wondering if this would be viable for Elemental Shamans as well.

Thanks and I apologize if this has been mentioned before - I scrolled back a few pages to check but didn't notice anything.

I guess it would be wroth it to save your T13 restoset for mists as you can still use this trick all of mists for some extra DPS :P

EDIT: I wonder if you can do this same trick as Enhancement with the T10 2set that gives 12% extra damage for the duration of your Shamanistic Rage... Pop Rage with 2setT10 pre-pull and equip normal gear 1sec before combat :P With good timing it'd be a good 12% damage-increase for a good 13-14 seconds at the start!

EDIT: People, donjt ever post about this again. Ever.

We dont want Blizzard fixing this so that we can "abuse" this for a bit of extra DPS even in MoP :P

Be advised that if your tank is not perfect about following his pull countdown this will result in a craptastic performance :-D I stopped using this after having to kill Ultraxion two times in Resto gear...

I used to do this basically every single boss fight, but now with the nerfs meaning DPS is not an issue I tend to not bother, the downside of people being pissed at you because your DPS was horrible as you were in Resto gear far outweighs the benefit of 30% haste for about 10 seconds, especially if you have Insignia HC.

I'd really like to know how to pull this off, I wanted to make a macro for changing to resto tier, using spiritwalkers grace and changing back to elemental tier and i'm having trouble figuring it out, if someone where to help me out I would be very grateful.

This basically checks if theres a shield equiped as I have a shield on my healing set and if there isnt 1 then it changes to the equipment healing gear else it goes to enhancement.
So just 2 clicks of this button and it works like a charm. That is before Im too slow in changing back to my enhancement gear and end up dpsing a boss still in my healing gear ^^

Oh I never even thought of that, im guessing if that works, it would also be possible to use both the resto tier 13 and the enhancement tier 10 set bonus? Could do some pretty decent dps at the start of a fight if you pull it off correctly

Delaxes
Yes, you can use both sets for a pre pot, I have my resto t13 4set on first, have a macro to use SWG, then equip the t10 2 set, and another macro to pop shamanistic rage (better to have it second since it's on the global and doesn't last as long imo), pop a potion, and then switch back to my normal pve enhance gear
If you are an engineer remember to never swap out your gloves if possible doing this

Sorry for the massive necro, but i would just like to remind my Elemental Brethren that they get shamanistic rage in patch 5.2. Thus, they too can use this to get 12% increased damage. Have fun.
